Best Manicures near me in Highfield, Charlottetown

It depends on the type of polish used: traditional nail polish lasts about a week, acrylic nails should last between 6-8 weeks and will need a fill every 2-3 weeks to cover regrowth. Shellac and gel nails last for 2-3 weeks.

Manicurists tend to begin a manicure by soaking your hands in warm water to soften the skin and nails. They then file, buff, and clean the cuticle, massage your hands with a moisturising cream, and apply a base coat of polish, before finishing with a layer of colour, top coat, and cuticle oil. Standard nail polish is left to dry naturally; shellac and gel polishes are cured under a UV lamp; acrylic nails cure in the natural air.

A regular manicure uses standard nail polish that dries in air. A gel manicure uses a UV/LED-cured gel polish that lasts 2–3 weeks without chipping. Gel is more durable and longer-lasting but requires soaking off for removal.
